I have an older Toshiba SD-M1102 internal DVD drive. It came with an
older PII but has been moved around. I recently moved it into my
sister's PIII running Windows98. I also installed a Hollywood Plus
decoder card I bought a few years back. The Hollywood card went in
fine, everything was good. The DVD ROM drive went in smooth as well
with no conflicts. I made the DVD the master drive and the CD-RW the
slave. I've also run all the updates on Window's website. I downloaded
the newest drivers for the Hollywood card and for the Toshiba DVD ROM
and installed them. I can put CD's in the DVD drive and it sees them
no problem. But when I try DVD's it comes up with [ E:\ is not
accessible. The device is not ready. ] Retry or Cancel? There are no
errors in the device manager, and I get the same message if I try to
play the DVD through Power DVD or the Hollywood plus software. [ No
disk in drive E:\ ] It likes the CD's but not the DVD's. Weird. The
only thing I can think of is that the drive itself is bad, but it's
worked fine up until now. Any help would be great. Thanks.
